lyrics

how you gonna get all of us out alive ?
I'll get the band back together by the old beehive
one good kick and the coals catch fire
if you don't dance this time brother you won't survive
how you gonna keep us warm ?
I'll tell the story of the green and the gold and the honey in the pines
I'll find something to burn
I'll send you a sign

don't I hold my own, did I lose my mind
I been here before, worked all my life
taking water to the river
and wood to the fire

let me shake another demon out of this bag
let me bind that wound with weeds and rags
I got a problem a carolina shag might fix
rock me honey, wrap me in your flag
I'm nothing but a big dumb dog
wild about the ones I love
wide awake when it all goes wrong
ready to walk with all of you anywhere
anywhere we might belong
